Advanced Materials for Wastewater Treatment and Desalination : Fundamentals to Applications

Advanced Materials for Wastewater Treatment and Desalination: Fundamentals to Applications offers a comprehensive overview of current progress in the development of advanced materials used in wastewater treatment and desalination. The book is divided into 2 major sections, covering with both fundamentals and applications.

• Describes the synthesis and modification of advanced materials, including metal oxides, carbonaceous materials, perovskite-based materials, polymer-based materials, and advanced nanocomposites
• Examines relevant synthesis routes and mechanisms as well as correlates materials properties with their characterization
• Details new fabrication techniques including green synthesis, solvent-free, and energy-saving synthesis approaches
• Highlights various applications, such as removal of organic contaminants, discoloration of dye wastewater, petrochemical wastewater treatment, and electrochemically enhanced water treatment

With chapters written by leading researchers from around the world, this book will be of interest to chemical, materials, and environmental engineers working on progressing materials applications to improve water treatment technologies.
